April 1st

It feels like time has dragged on forever.

I look back and every one of my blog posts is about my health, Davin's health, a hospital trip or a Doctor's visit. I'm fully aware that the last month of pregnancy is usually like this- lots of trips to the doctor, aches & pains and anxious waiting.

Maybe I feel like I've been jipped a little and everyone around me is probably sick and tired of hearing about the roller coaster ride that has been this pregnancy. I guess that's the wonderful thing about life; you make plans and then realize no one else got your memo.

I started out promising myself that I wouldn't be one of those people that spends every moment with their friends talking about what it's like to be pregnant and dragging them into the ever exciting discussions about babies. None of my friends have kids, I was sure that none of them would want to hear about it.

But when that's all your life is, it's really hard to find much else to talk about. I know pretty soon we'll move on and I'll have to tell them all about the cutest things my son did that day or how well he's progressing, but I'm hoping to retain some of my humor and somewhat adult behavior on occasion.

I've got 3 more days until I hit 36 weeks. A month ago, that seemed like an impossible goal and my frazzled nerves prevented me from thinking of anything other than the worst. Now, I feel like I could accomplish anything.

And although I wrote a memo for how I'd like labor to go next Friday, I'm well aware no one else will get it. As long as we make it out okay, I'm not going to complain.

You've made it far and I'm proud of you. Being pregnant is one thing; being a mommy is completely different. I can't wait to hear the stories, anecdotes and progression that Davin's making. I get such a big kick out of seeing photos of my nephew, Darion, and his progression; as it is, I found out he was getting teeth via my sister's Myspace.
